Breakfast som på 80-talet

Gröt var det enda vi åt till frukost på vardagar under hela min uppväxt. Pappa och mamma gjorde en egen blandning av havregryn och rågflingor och det var alltid hemkokt sylt till. Nästan alltid. Det kunde hända att man fick ta sirap på, eller farinsocker. Vitt socker var det aldrig tal om, lite oklart varför.

Jag har återupptäckt denna kombo. Brun farin har något.

All the rental bikes in Stockholm are taken away and stacked in a warehouse. This happened after the City of Stockholm decided to cut the agreement with the providing company due to security issues. The photos in this article can everyone (even if not Swedish) understand. On some bikes the frames are broken in half.

Jag gick en promenad på lunchen i dag, det brukar jag aldrig hinna. Vädret var snällt och Lilla Essingen var ovanligt fint.

A wild strike is going to happen in Stockholm tomorrow on the commuter trains. The train drivers are not happy with the fact that the Region of Stockholm has replaced the train attendants with cameras overlooking the platforms.

Here is an article (in Swedish).

As most drivers here in Stockholm the changing to winter tires isn’t anything I tend to act on until the snow is falling heavy and causing chaos in the streets. So, here I’m sitting waiting at a car mechanic’s 07.24 in the morning drinking their bad coffee. Like every other November. It’s a tradition you can say.

I got my drivers licence when I was 19. In Sweden you can get it from the day you turn 18. The only one of my three kids who are looking forward to driving a car is my daughter. She’s very much into nice looking cars. The two boys not as much.

The picture shows an American custom pickup truck I saw last summer. It’s not mine unfortunately. Not a climate friendly car, but a very cool looking one. 🛻

We got a 18 yo and twins five years younger. One girl and one boy. They’re like water and fire, not alike. She’s into being outside, making stuff, easily bored. He’s the other way around. He’s never bored as long he got his phone and an internet connection. But sometimes you need to get outside and do something else. When it’s Saturday I as a father like to do hang out with my kids and do something together. My wife toook our daughter out for some shopping today so I had to figure something out for me and our youngest son. I know he’s always talking about horror movies, how he’s been watching some together with friends (and sometimes alone). I know, he shouldn’t be doing that, but he’s a smart kid and he is handling it well. He’s never been having any problems sleeping. So, today I asked him if he wanted to go to the movies together with his father to see the horror pic Smile. He was a bit surprised that I asked but said he really wanted to go see it. And what a great time we had! We took the train to the city centre, had lunch at a food court and we talked about this and that. After the movie, which we both enjoyed, we talked even more. I think I’ll claim this as my father and son thing to do once in a while. I’ve never been into horror movies, but if that’s what I have to do to have some hang out time together with my son, it’s worth it. You got to adapt.

Wish you all a great weekend.
